What is it?

There’s nothing more fun and exciting than building something with your own hands; especially if what you build gives you real-time feedback of the weather, climate, and a host of other unique things. That’s why I created the Squix 4-in-1 Weather Station that lets you (and your kid) learn about programming and weather science with easy-to-follow instructions that turn you both into real scientists!

Why did you make it?

I felt that the start with the ESP8266 might hard and that a comprehensive guide bundled with the right hardware would make things a lot easier. So I sat down and developed this beginner friendly starter kit.

What makes it special?

The biggest value of the starter kit is certainly the extensive guide which has a lot of background information together with a minimal set of components to get started with ESP8266. Since you only have to configure a few parameters you can have your first IoT project up and running in no time!

What is a Tindarian?

We recognize our top users by making them a Tindarian. Tindarians have access to secret & unreleased features.

How does one become a Tindarian?

We look for the most active & best members of the Tindie community, and invite them to join. There isn't a selection process or form to fill out. The only way to become a Tindarian is by being a nice & active member of the Tindie community!
